Fulfillment house takes advantage of robotics-as-a-service

16 May 2018

Rakuten Super Logistics has partnered with inVia Robotics to integrate picking robots into its US warehouses.

Using the inVia Picker robots and cloud-based Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) management system, Rakuten Super Logistics (RSL) expects to increase its eCommerce fulfillment and warehouse productivity by more than 300% as the solution scales with data collection and optimisation.

inVia’s goods-to-person-fulfillment, a subscription-based model, was chosen ahead of competitors due to its ability to increase efficiencies across many operating cost layers within RSL’s facilities. The company's fulfillment needs extend throughout several warehouses in major population centres across the US.
